“…Moreover, Sotiris observed improvement of eyelid skin appearance by 30% for each plasma treatment session 13 . High satisfaction rates with 2 session treatment were also demonstrated by Baroni using a visual analog scale to evaluate the effectiveness of plasma ablation 24 . We could explain that pleasant results obtained in previous studies diverge from this study due to the protocol used.…”

Background Facial care treatments have grown a remarkable demand for effective and minimally invasive techniques with fast recovery time. Plasma technology is a nonsurgical alternative technique for skin rejuvenation. Aims We assessed patient satisfaction and symptoms after upper eyelid blepharoplasty with plasma technology. Patients/Methods Observational study including 16 patients submitted to upper eyelid blepharoplasty using plasma technology to treat dermatochalasis. Patient satisfaction, symptoms, and quality of life were assessed using 2 questionnaires at follow‐up days 7 and 30. Also, the answers were correlated with age, Fitzpatrick skin type, and quantity of eyelid skin treated with plasma. Results All 16 patients were treated and completed the survey. Fourteen (87.5%) were female, and the mean age was 50.5 years. Physical appearance was the most relevant factor impacting on quality of life at first week postoperative. Regarding satisfaction with results, most patients stated higher level of satisfaction at day 7 follow‐up analysis (P = .038). Less impact on quality of life and higher satisfaction was associated with eyelid‐treated area (P = .044 and P = .036) and Fitzpatrick skin type (P = .043) at 7 and 30 days after procedure, respectively. Eyelid edema and itching were the symptoms most reported at 7 and 30 days, respectively. Conclusions Upper blepharoplasty with plasma is a minimally invasive treatment with low impact on quality of life. However, overall patient satisfaction is questionable when considering less willing of undergoing procedure again and decreased expectation with results over postoperative period. Symptoms are reported mainly at the first week after procedure.

Scars are a common disfiguring sequela of various events such as acne, hidradenitis suppurativa, surgery, trauma, and burns, which can lead to serious psychosocial problems with a negative effect on the quality of life. Many conventional approaches have been proposed for the treatment of scars, including surgical techniques, dermabrasion, chemical peels, topical silicone gel, 5-fluorouracile and dermal fillers injection or autologous fat transfer for atrophic scars, and corticosteroids injection for hypertrophic and keloid scars; however, they have sporadic effects. Ablative lasers, such as carbon dioxide laser or Erbium Yag laser, are associated with many collateral effects limiting their application. Non-ablative laser treatments have been shown to be safer and to have fewer side effects, but they have a reduction of clinical efficacy compared to ablative lasers and a minimal improvement of scars. The demand for minimal invasive and safe technology for the treatment of a scars has stimulated the search for more effective novel therapy with fewer collateral effects. Plasma radiofrequency ablation is a new technique consisting of the generation of plasma energy through the production of ionized energy, which thermally heats tissue in a uniform and controlled manner, through a plasma radiofrequency device, inducing a sublimation of the tissue. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of P-RF ablation in the treatment of scars performed with D.A.S. Medical device (Technolux, Italia), which is a tool working with the long-wave plasma radiofrequency principle.

“…Plasma is also defined as “the fourth state of the matter” derived from the ionization of neutral gases present in the air 4 . The energy produced by a radiofrequency generator causes electrons to escape from their atoms, inducing a positive charge and ionization and, consequently, increasing in the number of electrons with the development of positive particles called ions and the dissociation of molecular bonds 5 . The resulting plasma spark sublimates the superficial layers of the skin, causing instantaneous heating in a controlled and uniform mode 1,4–6 .…”

“…1,[4][5][6] The device consists of a hand piece with a sterile tip and a wrist generator that allows the adjustment of power and frequency; the tool is different from traditional radiofrequency as it works without touch. 5 Selected energy can be concentrated in very small cutaneous areas (1 mm Ø), acting on the tissues with care and precision, with a layer-by-layer mode that avoids damaging the deeper layers of the skin; all these are fundamental requirements when treatments are performed on delicate skin areas. 5 Its applications are many, ranging from the removal of unsightly skin lesions, such as fibromas and dermal nevi (Figure 1A Once the dermatologist has diagnosed the unsightly facial skin disorder and ascertained that PRF ablation could be an appropriate approach, contraindications to treatment must be researched…”

Background:The field of esthetic dermatology continues to evolve rapidly, and esthetic procedures for facial skin play a key role in it. During recent years, patients have been demanding more non-invasive and safe technology characterized by satisfactory results and minimal downtime as compared to traditional surgical procedures. In the panorama of facial skin treatments, many options have different indications and limitations. Aims:The aim of this study was to report the effectiveness of plasma radiofrequency (PRF) ablation in facial skin esthetic treatments, performed with D.A.S. Medical device (Technolux, Italia). Methods:Once the dermatologist has diagnosed the unsightly facial skin disorder and ascertained that PRF ablation could be an appropriate approach, contraindications to treatment must be excluded. After the patient has signed the informed consent for treatment, it will be possible to proceed with the PRF ablation sessions. According to the esthetic disorder and the area of the face to be treated, PRF ablation is performed at energy and frequency values chosen depending on the case. Results:Treatments are generally well tolerated by patients, and excellent esthetic results and no side effects are observed. Conclusions:Even today, plasma radiofrequency ablation is perhaps one of the most versatile minimal invasive techniques, regarding both for variety of indications as well as effectiveness and fast downtime. Its applications are many, ranging from the removal of unsightly skin lesions, to the correction of scars, treatment of blepharochalasis, periocular, and perioral wrinkles, active acne, that distort the homogeneity and the youthful appearance of the face. PRF ablation has shown to be an effective option demonstrating its value in this field.
